Over the past 12 months, we have raised over $25,000 locally as part of our Ignite the S.Park campaign. We have used the money raised to:
- Complete the upgrade of our generalist classroom furniture
- Upgrade our reading resources in the classrooms and in the school library
Our current focus is on upgrading the external bubbler taps so the students have access to water throughout the day at school, including playtime. We hope that the taps will include an option for the students to refill their water bottles. The total cost will be approximately $20,000 with $10,000 coming from the school budget and the remaining $10,000 paid for using locally raised funds. Once we have achieved this fundraising target, we will shift our focus to replacing the classroom library furniture, thus improving the reading experience and motivation for students to engage in reading. We are very grateful to all families who continually support our efforts.
One way you can support our Ignite the S.Park campaign is by donating your 10c refund on every bottle and can returned to the collection centre to Seaford Park Primary School. Feel free to share our barcode and number with your family and friends so we can all work together to Ignite the S.Park.
